At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 383 Why Are You Laughing?

Yang Guang praised Gao Bufan so highly that all the officials present had their own thoughts and realized that a new political star was rising. In this suspicious and moody state, it will only take a few years for the dynasty to change. Who cares?

Of course, superficial skills still need to be done, Gao Bufan quickly thanked him, and verbally expressed a few words of loyalty without money, and then he was allowed to stand aside.

At this time, Cui Wu, the county magistrate of Linqing, was still kneeling there. He could see that he was very nervous, and even a thin layer of sweat oozed from his forehead. He didn't dare to let out the air, and knelt there motionless.

"Who are you?" Yang Guang said indifferently, clearly asking knowingly, because Cui Wu was wearing the official uniform of the county magistrate, so he knew that he was a local magistrate.

Cui Wu was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, this minister is Cui Wu, the county magistrate of Linqing, and I am here to welcome the emperor on behalf of the people of this county."

The crow's feet on both sides of Yang Guang's eyes immediately stood up slightly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said coldly, "Are you from the Qinghe Cui family?"

Cui Wu was terrified in his heart, he stammered: "Returning to the emperor, the subject is indeed from the second family of the Cui family in Qinghe."

Yang Guang closed his eyes slightly, and his sharp look faded away, and he returned to the look of an ancient well without waves. However, all the officials present couldn't help but tremble with fear, because this was a sign that Yang Guang was about to get angry. It's over, this Cui Wu is going to be in bad luck.

Sure enough, only Yang Guang said: "I heard that a daughter of the Qinghe Cui family married the traitor Yang Xuanzong, is that true?"

Cui Wu's complexion turned pale slightly, he was sweating profusely, his forehead almost touched the floor, and said in a trembling voice: "It's true, when Situ Chugong Yang Su was still alive, he personally proposed to marry his second son, Yang Xuanzong. It is already more than ten years ago that I was the first daughter of the eldest family of the Cui family."

Yang Guang nodded and said, "Since the Cui and Yang families are related by marriage, has the racecourse under Cui's name ever provided Yang Xuangan with war horses?"

Cui Wu was trembling slightly at this moment, and said in a stuttering manner: "The emperor clearly learned that the Qinghe Cui family absolutely never sponsored Yang Xuangan's war horse, and they didn't know anything about it beforehand."

Yang Guang said indifferently: "Let's just say it, let's just listen to it, then let's just pretend it doesn't exist. If it is found out in the future that Qinghe Cui's involvement in Yang Xuangan's rebellion will never be forgiven!"

Cui Wu was almost paralyzed with fright, but he was secretly relieved when he heard the words, because from the meaning of Yang Guang's words, there should be no evidence that the Cui family of Qinghe colluded with Yang Xuangan.

This is the first time for Gao Bufan to know that the Cui family of Qinghe has an in-law relationship with Yang Xuangan. However, it is a routine practice for the powerful families to marry each other. A big family like the Cui family of Qinghe has a prosperous population. They are all married, and the relationship is intricate, which is not surprising at all.

As for whether the Cui family of Qinghe funded Yang Xuangan's rebellion, it is unknown. Anyway, judging from Yang Guang's tone, it seems that he has not grasped the evidence for the time being, and it is just a warning and beating at this time.

Just when everyone thought that Cui Wu had dodged a catastrophe, a slight sneer flashed on the corner of Yang Guang's mouth, he threw a list on the ground in front of Cui Wu, and said coldly: "Magistrate Cui, this is your Linqing County Welcome the tribute of Shengjia? How dare you neglect me so much?"

Cui Wu's cold sweat broke out again, and he picked up the list tremblingly. It was indeed the list of materials supplied by Linqing County to the Royal Fleet. Although the materials on it were not luxurious, they were definitely not bad. It's almost the same, how come you become a negligent saint when you come to me?
"Your Majesty...it's my negligence, I'll prepare another tribute when I go back!" Cui Wu knew that Yang Guang was wearing small shoes for him, but he still pleaded guilty with wit.

Yang Guang originally wanted to find a pretext to punish Cui Wu, so as to make an example of the Qinghe Cui family, so he sharpened his eyes and said coldly: "No need, come here, Linqing county magistrate Cui Wu neglected the holy driver, and dismissed him on the spot. , beheaded to show the public, as a warning to others."

Cui Wu was frightened out of his wits, and knocked his head loudly: "The emperor spares my life, my majesty spares my life, I am not neglecting my holy car, I am just negligent for a while!"

Yang Guang was indifferent, the two Qianniu guards stepped forward and wanted to take Cui Wujia off the boat to behead him. No one dared to intercede for Cui Wu with the appearance of the deputy old monk entering meditation.

Just as Cui Wu was about to be beheaded, Yang Guang suddenly frowned and said coldly, "Wait a minute!"

The two Qianniuwei stopped their movements when they heard the words, and when everyone was puzzled, Yang Guang stared at Gao Bufan coldly and said, "Why is Gao Lang laughing?"

As soon as this remark came out, all eyes in the audience focused on Gao Bufan.

Yang Qingruo's tender body trembled violently, both startled and suspicious, what on earth are you going to do?If you don't like your life for a long time, others will avoid it, so you have to meddle in your own business!

Empress Xiao also had a look of surprise, this child is quite smart, why did he provoke the emperor at this time?

Indeed, Yang Guang is very upset now. He wants to scare others and use cruel means to frighten the officials and those powerful families. In the end, Gao Bufan even smiled relaxedly. I'm getting impatient, could it be that I've been promoted to four levels in a row, so I got carried away with complacency?If you can't come up with a reasonable reason for something that doesn't know how to live or die, let's see how I deal with you. If I can lift you up, I can send you to the [-]th floor of hell!
Gao Bufan didn't seem to notice the murderous intent hidden behind Yang Guang's gloomy gaze, and said a little embarrassedly: "Go back to the emperor, I suddenly remembered something just now, I couldn't help but lose my dignity in front of you for a while, it's my fault!"

Everyone couldn't help but be speechless, the emperor was ready to kill with murderous intent, you kid actually had other thoughts on your mind, let's forget about other things, and even laughed out loud, you kid is a cat?Have nine lives?

Yu Wenhuaji and Li Hun and Li Min's uncle and nephew were secretly happy, and they looked at Gao Bufan as if they were looking at a dead person.

Yang Guang snorted when he heard the words, and asked with great interest: "What's so funny, why don't you say it to make everyone happy too!"

The calmer Yang Guang was, the more tense the atmosphere in the hall became, as if the calm before the storm.

Gao Bufan said embarrassingly: "It's just some common people's words, and it's about the emperor. I'm worried that the emperor will be unhappy if he hears it."

As soon as this remark came out, the expressions of all the officials present were wonderful, it turned out to be the words of ordinary people about the emperor, hey, this kid didn't think he died fast enough, did he?
"It's okay, I just want to hear what the common people say about me!" Yang Guang said indifferently.

Yang Qingruo's heart was about to jump out of her throat, and she couldn't rush up to cover Gao Bufan's mouth, so she could only bite her cherry lips, squeeze her fists tightly, and silently pray that this bastard would not die!
Gao Bufan didn't seem to notice that the sharp blade was already hanging on his neck, and bowed and said: "The minister is bold. A few days ago, the minister arrived in Linqing to meet the holy driver. He was walking casually along the banks of the canal when he had nothing to do. Suddenly he met two civilians. Scrambling to harvest wheat in the field, these two people are a father and son, probably tired from work, sitting on the stalks, drinking water, resting and chatting, only listening to the son wiping his sweat and asking his father, we are tired from working in the field I'm half dead, I don't know what the emperor is doing now?"

"Then, how does his father answer?" Yang Guang asked lightly, but obviously sat upright, and Empress Xiao beside her also looked very interested.

Gao Bufan laughed and said: "Then father said, idiot, you don't need to ask, the emperor is naturally wearing a golden hat, wearing a golden coir raincoat, and harvesting wheat in the field with a golden sickle, that's like us, drinking water with clay bowls, the emperor They also drink from golden bowls."

Empress Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then giggled coquettishly, as if a flower branch was trembling, Yang Guang couldn't help laughing out loud, and with his smile, Xiao Sha's atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much lighter.

Yang Qingruo breathed a sigh of relief, and finally let go of the big stone in her heart, and stared at someone fiercely with her beautiful eyes.

Empress Xiao couldn't stop laughing, and after a long time, she patted her full chest and panted, "Your Majesty, do you have a golden hat, a golden coir raincoat, and a golden sickle?"

Yang Guang laughed and said: "Why would I have those things? If the queen wants it, I can order craftsmen to make one, but you have to wear it to work!"

Empress Xiao giggled and said, "The concubine can't do it!"

Yang Qingruo said with a smile: "The common people are ignorant, and probably don't know how much gold weighs. Wearing a golden hat and coir raincoat, ordinary people may find it difficult to walk, let alone work."

Gao Bufan took the opportunity to say: "That's right, ordinary people have little knowledge, they only think that the emperor is rich in the world, that he can enjoy endless glory and wealth, and that his family must use expensive gold, but he doesn't know that being an emperor also has the troubles of being an emperor. He has to manage tens of millions of people , How much energy does it take to maintain the normal operation of such a huge country? It is no exaggeration to say that there are many opportunities in the day. It is true that the people work hard in the fields, but the emperor is not easy, even worse than that! "

Yang Guang felt very comfortable when he heard the words, and his complexion looked good. Empress Xiao nodded and praised: "It's rare that General Gao Lang is so sympathetic to the emperor. Being the emperor is really hard. Sometimes you can't rest when you are reviewing the playbook. Aijia watched I feel so bad!"

"The emperor is working hard on state affairs, and the ministers are uneasy, and they still want to keep the dragon's body!" Yu Shiji, the servant of internal history, is the one who is best at flattering, and immediately knelt down to show his loyalty when he saw the opportunity, and other ministers hurriedly knelt down to follow suit.

Yang Guang saw Long Yan was very happy, and Gao Bufan seemed to be more pleasing to the eye, he raised his hand and said: "Everyone, please be safe."

Yu Wenhua and this guy couldn't help lamenting secretly, and had to admit that his kung fu for taking dragon farts was not yet ready. Look at this guy Gao Bufan, who took a big turn and was able to shoot dragon farts, and the shots were so fresh and natural, The emperor is so comfortable to shoot, no, I have to learn a little bit!
